Description
Embrace the endless blue! Here is a perfectly designed experience for beach lovers comprising a visit to two of Crete’s most legendary beaches: Balos lagoon and Falassarna beach. We will start with a road trip to the west side of the island towards the peninsula of Gramvousa. At the end of a long dirt track with coastal views, it’s time to set out on foot.
An enjoyable 15-minute trek will bring us to an astonishing lookout from where will stand breathlessly to marvel at the Natura 2000-listed Balos lagoon and the Gramvousa island with its historic Venetian fortress. Have you heard about the legend of hidden treasure on this barren island? Did you know that this strip remained under Venetian occupation even after the Ottomans had conquered the rest of Crete?
Our next destination will be Falassarna beach: one of the most beautiful beaches in Greece with its fine white sands and glassy waters. There will be plenty of time to enjoy the beach before heading to a local taverna for lunch with wonderful views over the magnetic Mediterranean Sea.
On our way back, we will stop to visit one of the oldest olive trees on the planet that still produces olives today. Might there be another reason why this tree is famous? Let us enlighten you!
